New Indirect Calorimetry Device for Energy Expenditure Measurement

NCT02024958 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 182

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Energy expenditure (EE) in critically ill patients is highly variable depending on the initial severity of the disease and treatments. Clinicians need to measure EE by indirect calorimetry (IC) to optimize nutritional support. IC devices available on the market have insufficient accuracy for clinical and research use. A new IC is being developed to meet these needs.

Objectives: Validation of a reliable and easy-to-use IC device.

Primary objective:

• Accuracy of EE measurements (kcal/d measured over 30 min) of the new and the reference IC devices in intubated ICU patients on mechanical ventilation

Secondary objectives:

* Accuracy of EE measurements in ICU patients of spontaneous breathing
* Accuracy of EE measurement during \~30 min. vs. the sum of 6 periods of 60 min/12 hrs
* Accuracy of EE measurements in ICU patients on non-invasive mechanical ventilation

Design: Prospective, controlled, observational multicenter study.

Subjects: 182 ICU patients.
